Funsho Adeoti, the estranged wife of Kazim Adeoti and former spouse of popular Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe’s husband, has taken to Instagram to share an empowering message with women on the occasion of her 50th birthday. In a video posted from her birthday celebration, Funsho delivered an inspiring message about femininity and self-confidence, encouraging women to embrace their authentic selves.

You deserve all the glitz and love on your birthday.” Several fans echoed similar sentiments, with Rmd Alfred commenting, “You’re more than a strong woman.
